I just looked at my profile and the status read "still lurking", which sounded a bit creepy! Figured I would introduce myself:

Kayo, I am "involuntarily" retired, and am currently searching for work. I search the BCF forums too, as one day I hope to get back to work and be able to afford an LBC.

My first car was a '67 TR4A, and I got that in 1968 at a small used car lot in Northern Va. where I was living and going to college at the time. I had it for near 10 years before selling it to get a 240Z! Wish I still had both!

Here's a shout out to Kellysguy!

Great to have you with us LBC knuts kayo; keep an eye on the classifieds. And best of luck with the job search, there are a few others here that have mentioned the same situation. Never good, or easy.
 
Thanks Dart! I feel like I am among friends already. Never had a name for it, but I guess I have been an LBC Knut for a long time.
 
Hi Kayo, and welcome to the Forum. I've been involuntarily retired since last Oct, so I can relate to what you're saying. You've come to a great Forum, welcome again! :savewave:

Hi Kayo,

Hey; I was stationed in "Ft. Monmouth" back in `66-`67 & Then off to the "Big Rice Paddy in the Sky".

Your story of Un-Invited, Early Retirement is quite typ. these days. I`ve been there a few yrs. back & I was old enough to start drawing my Social Security early. I`m sure glad I did that. Hang in there & Best Wishes with the Job & LBC find.

Regards, Russ
 
Welcome! I've been to your area (near Navesink....right?)

I spent my later childhood years growing up in Jackson, NJ
(who am I kidding?....I'm <span style="text-decoration: underline">still</span> in my childhood years). :laugh:

G'luck on the job situation and the car hunt!
(I'm hoping to "voluntarily" retire soon, myself)

"Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is not."
 
Thanks for the warm welcome, I'm feeling right at home here on BCF.

Russ; Ft. Monmouth has gotten ITS involuntary retirement notice from BRAC and will close in a year or so. My dad mustered out of the army in '45 from there.

aeronca65t: Navesink is right down the road from me. My brothers kid used to live up Ogdensburg way so I know a little about the NW NJ area. I can't wait til I am able to "officially" retire!

I am amazed at how much I have learned from this forum in such a short time. Thanks all!

Kayo
